Wrecking Ball

The artwork envisions a scenario emerging from the blend of Middle Eastern culture with Western influences. The artist creates an inviting illusion coupled with charming objects that intrigue fascination yet stimulate underlying connotations. He chooses the discotheque as an exaggerated setting, translated into a futuristic void through the process of Arabisation, Further reflection presents an outcome where the functionality of both cultures is lost and we are left with a tale of contemplation.

 This juxtaposition, infused with the artists’ playful and calculated interpretation, creates a tension that poses two predominant questions:

To what extent should Western standards influence other societies? How does a nation modernise considering culture, tradition and religion?
